Queen Mother - Palace declines to comment on Racism accusations..

It's pretty consistent with the racism that Philip has exhibited, I don't know why anyone would be shocked

Queen Mother's racist comment covered up because 'it was too awful',

The former director of the National Portrait Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum adds that her racially charged comments were “too awful” to immortalize in a book, The Times reports.


"Suddenly in the middle of lunch, I was on the left of her I think, and the Queen was in Africa at the time, and the Queen Mother leant over to me and said ‘Beware the blackamoors’. I can’t put that down."

The diarist made a career from publishing volumes of diaries about the royal family. The first came out in 1997 and covered 1967 to 1987, and the second volume, covering 1988-203 was released in 2003.

The Queen Mother has faced other accusations of racism. William Shawcross’ authorised biography claims that she once walked into a reception with the Japanese Prince and said ‘Nip on! Nip on”. In another instance, she reportedly told Woodrow Wyatt that she “had some reservations about Jews,” and her lady-in-waiting that “the Africans just don’t know how to govern themselves…what a pity we’re not still looking after them.”

When asked about the issue, the Royal family declined to comment.
